Market Uncertainty Keeps Pricing Subdued

Written by Mark Pszeniczny | Apr 17, 2025 1:31:27 PM

Gasoline and Diesel pricing is roughly a dime off the lows of last week.  In normal times ( I thought we were done saying that) with the bullish factors of slowing world demand, a weak US dollar, and additional Iranian sanctions, we would have seen future pricing jump $.20 ahead of a long trader weekend. 

However, the three ring tariff circus has kept any drastic jumps in check.  Like most of us, markets do not like uncertainty.  The threat of a long-term trade war with China will continue to subdue price action.  While most of us don’t feel it, overall demand for finished products still lags.  It’s hard to imagine that the summer crunch is around the corner while much of us saw accumulating snow last week.
